Topic Wiki

The deal: 2x, 3x, 4x (or rarely, 5x) Gas Points per GC at Stop and Shop and Giant stores. Sometimes it's all GCs, sometimes just one or two types. Be sure to look at the current circular carefully for details

Credit cards CAN now be used to purchase visa/MC/Amex gift cards. :D

You will not get any Stop & Shop points on Gift Cards that are bought when there is no promotion.

You can get 1 Gas Point for every dollar you spend at S&S, Giant or Peapod all the time, and there are usually a few options in the circular to get bonus points, besides GCs. Be sure to have your S&S card scanned before purchasing or you won't get any Gas Points. You usually have to pay for GCs at the Customer Service desk, which may or may not ask for ID.

Gas Points expire 30 days after they are earned. You can check your current balance by logging in here: http://www.stopandshop.com/savings-and-rewards/rewards-program/gas-rewards/. There is also quite a bit of good general information about how the program works at that link, including a way to look up participating Shell stations and Stop & Shop stores with gas stations.

Gas Points are redeemable at Stop & Shop stores with gas stations and at participating Shell stations only. Not all Shell stations participate. It is recommended that you find out about station participation before driving around looking for one with your gas light on. :)

The link above also has instructions about how to redeem your Gas Points at Shell both within and outside of NJ. (NJ outlaws self-service gas, so it has a little bit different procedure than in other states.)

The maximum redemption is 1500 points per fill, or $1.50 off per gallon, up to 20 gallons, but be aware that if you or the attendant enters your S&S card, your full point balance up to 1500 will be taken for any size fill. Any remaining points above 1500 will remain in your account. The minimum redemption is 100 points ($0.10 off/gal). Any discount you have available from the Fuel Rewards program is in addition to the Stop & Shop discount. For example, if you have 2000 Stop & Shop points and a $0.35 discount from Fuel Rewards, you can purchase gas for $1.85 off per gallon (the maximum $1.50 discount from Stop & Shop plus the Fuel Rewards discount).

Please use
your common sense and do not ruin this deal for others (and yourself) by doing various things that might antagonize or aggravate gas station attendants in your attempt to maximize the 20 gallon limit per redemption. (For instance, the official rules at the link above say that a redemption may be used for one vehicle only.)

Abusing this deal will only mean that gas station owners will be less likely to continue to participate, and that S&S and Shell will be less likely to continue the program going forward.

To get the Cash price without paying cash you can get a refillable shell GC here: http://www.shell.us/products-services/shell-cards/refillable.html
It's refillable online by Visa or Mastercard. Even better: buy a Shell GC at Staples using an Ink card, and get 5 points per dollar.

I didnt try. She said it won't give after 10 for that phone number. But she did insinuate that as long as I have a different number she'd continue to scan...
I have bought waaaaaaaay more than 10 gc every time they had a promo using the same S&S card and so have plenty of others

Didn't try it this time, but it was never limited when buying GC, it does get limited when using the coupons.

Correct
The issue is not buying the gift cards and getting the coupon. The limit is redeeming the coupons. It’s limited to 10 per account. But I believe it resets every week. I will try it tomorrow and I will report back if it allowed me to use on a account that was maxed out last week

At one stop and shop last night, I did self check out and redeemed 12 coupons in separate transactions. The employee was there and was very pleasant and assisted me. I asked if I could buy $100 gift card, and she walked over to her terminal to execute the transaction. She asked how I was paying, and I told her credit card, and she told me it was not possible to buy a gift card with a credit card. LOL LOL LOL LOL

Yes.  Last time around the limit was somewhere between 10 and 20.

this years strategy. Went to office max, bought a single $300 GC (variable). total was $285 + tax = $290.
went to S&S bought 3 $100 amazon GC's.
checked out at self checkout.
~$65 worth of groceries, for ~$5
$300 amazon GC for 290.
plus 1500 UR points.

Forgot to try more than 1 $300 GC at office max. but cashier looked as if he did this first time, so I assume it wouldv'e worked.

This time around there are no limits on redeeming per account
But 1 per transaction is hard coded

Its a good play but the issue is it is not really scaleable without traveling around. most stores will get annoyed at you for using VGC for GC at some point.
